Great 20m yagi			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Just got my JK-206 set at 140 ft. after having put up a JK-403 at 195 ft. several mos. ago. I'm again impressed w/ the construction quality and part labeling, as well as the availability of Ken. Caveat- the manual should include a note to mount the truss clamps on the boom BEFORE putting on the end elements! I have a ring rotator, so the position of the cradle is a off compared to where a mast would be (element in the way), but no big deal. I ran a dedicated piece of coax from the balun to a point near the tower, where the pigtail attaches, since the feed point is inaccessible once the antenna is up. SWR < 1.2 across the entire band, and dips < 1.1 to almost 1.0 around 14.200. Front to back and front to side seem to be very good. I've got one more JK to go (Quattro) and expect these yagis to last as long as I do!

Rock star!			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
When putting up a trio of new towers in 2017, the original plan was to reuse the old home brew beams I had and eventually get some better ones hung. In the end I decided that it would just be my luck that we would have an ice or wind event here and the top antenna on the tower would break, damaging everything below. So the hunt was on for a robust and serious performer. I had seen the JK stuff at Dayton before and it was impressive in ruggedness and quality. Eventually I settled on the JK206 and it's been a fantastic performer. In fact I liked it so well I ended up buying a second JK206 to stack with it, and now have a total of 10 JK monobanders covering 40-10m.
